Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development complies with the relevant development plan policy which relates to offices and Local Employment Sites
- The effects of the proposed development upon the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to outlook and light
- The provision that would be made for urban greening
- Whether the proposed development is required to provide accessible housing and, if so, whether it complies with relevant development plan policy
What decided it
The loss of office accommodation within a Local Employment Site without adequate justification under Policy BE3 and E1, combined with unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions regarding outlook and light, and failure to provide urban greening, outweighs the limited benefit of three additional dwellings.
Plan policies cited: Policy BE3, Policy E1, Policy DMP1, Policy BH4, Policy BGI1, Policy G5, Policy G6, Policy D7, Policy H2
